This collection of paintings and works on paper is exhibited under the title "Shoreline". A fringe of land between the land and a large body of water. All the paintings except one are from 2015 and 2016, although the works on paper cover a much longer time period. A shoreline is where, if you’re lucky, things wash up that hold your attention and for which you may develop a fondness. A studio can also be, if you let it, where things wash up. I would like to dedicate this exhibition to Doug Haynes who as a man and artist I held in the highest regard.
